Here at Hungry Girl, we like our portions large and our calorie counts low. That's why we're constantly super-sizing our meals and snacks. And it's a good thing, because results of a new study suggest that low-volume foods can actually lead to overeating. Researchers tested people's ability to judge portion size while pouring cereal. When flake size was reduced (as frequently happens once you get to the bottom of the box), subjects served themselves smaller amounts by measurement BUT the total amounts by weight (which are what count when it comes to calorie content) were still greater than when they poured the standard flakes. What does this mean? We're more likely to overeat calorie-dense foods than we are high-volume foods with the same number of calories. Looking for ways to super-size your food? Here are some of our best food expanders. And The Hungry Girl Diet is all about getting the most bang for your calorie buck with giant portions. Check it out!
